Putney Is As Pretty As A Picture

Putney's been around for a while; it's listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as Putelei. These days, it's a bucolic-feeling area of London, with Putney Heath and Putney Village to the south, and Putney Common to the north. It's also where the annual Boat Race sets off from.
